blackballed for rush?

For some sororities, their recruitment process makes it very difficult for just one or two girls to “blackball” someone. It would take a larger percentage of the chapter to be saying the same things. On the other hand, some sororities, one or two girls can definitely say their piece and it would affect you. My roommate dated someone for years in HS and a girl from one chapter banned her, then banned me, via association (Roommate). I learned of this like a year afterwards from people involved with forming the rush lists

Just maintain a clean social media (no pics w drinks in hand, middle finger, etc) and carry yourself well! College is different than HS and reputations don’t have to follow you!

If you are sincere about wanting to start over, maybe put off recruitment for a year, behave yourself at parties, make friends with girls from your dorm who do pledge, get good grades (WHICH IS WHY YOUR ARE GOING TO COLLEGE, btw), and just be chill.
Then, see if you want to go through recruitment as a sophomore. There is actually a seperate quota for upperclass members (too long to explain here).
People change after high school. Let your change be for the good.

This post is from 10 years ago why are ppl still responding 😭

look, honestly if ur rep in hs was THAT bad that ur writing an essay on greek rank worried that ur going to get screwed over— yeah u might have something to worry about (at least with the top tiers).

nobody is perfect and everyone has ppl that don’t like them but if u built up a reputation where u think that it’s bad enough to affect rush it probably is. i’m sorry it’s definitely not the answer u want but it’s true. i was close with my exec board and there are plenty of girls who transfer or come in with horrible reps and u get blacklisted. if there’s even one girl in said sorority who DESPISES u enough to report u to exec it’s over.

also by u already having a lowkey attitude and pointing fingers in this post alone shows a lack of maturity. i’m not even saying this to be mean but if u want the honest truth from a complete outsider this post just looks bad.

if u have genuinely changed or made amends u shouldn’t be worried, if u haven’t then yeah maybe. ultimately whatever is meant to happen will happen sorry if it sounds harsh but i won’t sugar coat it

I’d blackball you, you sound like a pos
